Account Passwords

UW Green Bay's
password policy, self service, complexity

The
policy requires the following:

Passwords must be a minimum of 14 characters

Passwords must be a mix of upper case, lower case,
numbers, and special characters.

Must be changed at least every 180 days

Can't be any of your last 24 passwords.

Passwords should not exceed 49 characters.

Passwords
may not contain the user's samAccountName (Account Name) value or entire
displayName (Full Name value). Both checks are not case sensitive.

The
samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part
of the password. If the samAccountName is less than three characters long, this
check is skipped. The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods,
dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these
delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections (tokens)
are confirmed to not be included in the password. Tokens that are less than
three characters are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked. For
example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin",
"M", and "Hagens". Because the second token is only one
character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password
that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring
anywhere in the password.

What will Happen if my Password Should Expire?

Call the Help Desk at 920-465-2309 to get the password reset. You can also enroll in the password reset tool to be able to reset your password without intervention from the Help Desk.

If you are a staff person you will need to come to the Help Desk and show a photo ID to have your password reset or enroll in the password reset tool so you can do it remotely.
